No but really, I'm sure it's a sincere heart-felt goodbye. Go read it. I know I will.

In other news happy late 4th of July! I went down to PA and set off some fireworks. Fun stuff.

Also last friday I started work on a neat pixely detective game. It's a wee little side project. Just playing around with lighting and realistic sounds. It'll be fun stuff. This is all I have right now, no story whatsoever.
If you've got some super swell ideas for a pixely detective game, comment and I'll be super excited.

Forget Duke Nukem, he's overrated. Nada is a real action hero. Someone should make a They Live flash game. I watched it again last night and was reminded how great it was.

In other news Escape Pico's School reached 200,000 views. You guys need to stop playing it. It's not even that good.

I can't think of anything else right now. School's out so I've started working on some old projects including icon modding again.

Stay classy everyone.

Oh yeah, I made my first real animation last week if you want to check that out.

Not sure why, but I tried my hand at animation today. It's a lot more tedious than programming but I feel a lot more accomplished now that I'm done. Maybe I'll make some more some day. Probably not, but who knows?

So if you want to laugh at my silly attempt at making pictures move on a screen, the below is for you.

Maybe give it a fair vote and a helpful review and I'll love you forever.

So for the past 2 days I've been making some logo intros for my future games. I'll probably end up using a different intro one for each game, but I complied them to show you guys.

Take a looksy and comment with your favorite (A or B or C!)

For those of you who are extra slow, you need to click the arrows at the bottom to scroll through the logos ;3

Anyway, the sound clip is from a badass song right here on NG! Score!

Lastly I'd like to apologize for not participating in Pico Day this year. It's by far my favorite NG holiday and it killed me inside when I woke up April 30th with nothing to submit. That being said, I did work on a game throughout the day with my good friend ShearArtAttack! It's sick nasty and maybe it can see the light of day next year. Also I have a super secret huge cool epic game collab in the works for next Pico Day. TheShadling has already contributed some sweet art. He's super cool and sweet so go check out his art. Although I'm sure most of you already have. ;D

Oh yeah and for some incredible reason it seems I missed the Tank Awards, will there be a video of that up some time? I know MasterAardvark and Bahamut won but I don't know the others. Congrats though guys!

I'll stop babbeling.

As of yesterday I've reached 200 people that have favorited me! It's not many compared to some of the more popular flash artists but I think it's a noteworthy milestone. Anyway, thanks to all the people who added me as their favorite author, I really appreciate it. You guys are cool.

In other news PICO DAY IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. I was planning on spending this entire week finishing this really cool game I've been working on but stuff got in the way. Not cool. I'll try to get as much work done today if I can stay focused. Which is really hard.

Finally, I got another Ad Revenue check in the mail (thanks Newgrounds <3) last week and decided to invest it in a second computer monitor. It came a few days ago and it's pretty swag. That's all I can say really. Newgrounds on one screen and flash/photoshop on the other. It makes me feel very productive. For those of you reading this that have dual monitors set up, what do you use them for?

YOU THINK MOCKERY'S GAME WAS GREAT WELL OBVIOUSLY YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE ACTION HERO ROB THUNDAKILL. HE LIVES AND BREATHES GREATNESS. I HUMBLY MADE A GAME DEDICATED TO HIS LEGACY AND I HOPE THAT YOU ALL WILL PLAY IT. THIS IS NOT A JOKE EITHER. SERIOUS. NOW INSTEAD OF DILLY DALLYING AROUND WHY DON'T YOU GO PLAY IT.

I started a lot of cool games last year that still aren't done as we speak. Like a lot of authors here, I have a tendency to start something and never finish it. A ton of cool people put their time and effort into these games, so I'm planning on finishing the shit I started. I literally have a Flash folder with over 300 flash files. Not all of these are super cool games that I never finished, but a handful of them are, and I intend to get those wrapped up sooner or later.

All that aside, lets talk about the NES. My cool hipster friend ShearArtAttack and I have been working on a game for a few months now. Without giving too much away, it's a simple little platformer puzzel game with a heart of gold and an NES feel to it. We intended to finish it in one 24 hour period, but that didn't work out. At the end of the 24 hours we had a solid 5 or 6 levels done, but we decided it would be cool as a full fledged game.

Anyway, for no particular reason we made a real cartridge for it.

This idea has been rolling around in my head for a while, so I might as well share it with you all. Below I'll just brainstorm for my own sake.
If you're a serious animator and this looks like something you'd be interested in, drop me a comment or PM.
Everyone else can comment whether or not they think it's a good idea.

A Brief History of Pico

The basic premise is that Pico and friends are timewarped to all these eras in history.
It would follow the same sort of style as the other "Watch Pico Get Thrown Around Different Places" movies: (1) (2) (3).

Possible Time Periods

Prehistoric (Pico and friends are cavemen, shenanigans ensue)
Egypt (Mummies? Eh?)
Ancient China (Samurais, Ninjas ECT!)
Rome (Pico is Julius Caesar and is assassinated by Darnell? THE POSSIBILITIES)
Medieval
1920's
Now
The Future (:O)

I'm probably forgetting something but I'll deal with that tomorrow.

So for a long time I've been tinkering around with the idea of having my own website.
I love Newgrounds and I'll still post all of my games and stuff here, it's just always been a dream of mine to operate a website of my own. Or something like that. Just a small gallery of my work with upcoming projects and stuff.

I know absolutely nothing about making a website, so for the past month I've been reading up on tutorials and whatnot. So far I have this. The end product will look a little like something below. Maybe less cluttered.

Any thoughts, suggestions or comments?

Also, Eric Johnson:

I've thought about doing this for a few months, and now that it's the new year I might as well announce it.
For the rest of this year, I will be making 1 game from scratch a week.

This is just for fun and so that I can practice and learn some new things in Flash. Hopefully it'll end in 52 creative and enjoyable games. Obviously not all of them will be works of art, but we'll see what happens.

They'll all be posted on this account.

This is not to say that I won't work on other projects. This is a side project at best. Just something to do in my spare time when I'm bored or have a great idea for a game.
